Woo hoo! You're almost there! These last few days will fly by. I know that the last few days before my surgery went in a flash... I stayed busy with preparations and making lists, shopping, laundry and so forth and didn't let myself sit around and worry about it. :D

The pre op diet blows, doesn't it? LOL I had to do three weeks and I wanted to eat the world by the end of it! My pre op diet was pretty liberal, as pre op diets go... I had two Protein shakes, I could blend in frozen fruit, if I wanted, and a lean and green meal in which I could nom on 6 to 8 ounces of lean Protein and a pile of green veggies and salad. I could have low cal dressing, too. So, it wasn't exactly torture. But it was pretty tedious, especially after three long weeks. :lol:

Anyway, you're almost there! And the pre op diet will so be worth it, I promise. Hang in there and good luck on Friday! I'll be thinking of you, when I am sitting in my stylist's chair, having my hair done. (Friday is salon day, for me. Need to get these roots done. :D )

Good luck on your surgery. I have had the lapband since August 2004 lost 116 lbs and I have kelp it off. As long as you work with the band it will work with you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
